72 Percent of Americans Disapprove of Republicans in Congress
An astounding 72 percent of Americans say they are unhappy with Republicans in Congress, according to a recent poll.
President Barack Obama and the Democrats fared a bit better. The poll, conducted by the Washington Post and ABC News and released last week, found that only 54 percent and 61 percent said they disapprove of Obama and Democrats respectively.
Republicans’ approval rating has been terrible for years, and Congress as a whole is almost universally disliked.
The findings may not have a strong bearing on the GOP’s midterm elections chances. Recent polls show the Republicans have an edge in both the Senate and the House.
